Yoni Chetboun announces he will not run with Bayit Yehudi in elections

December 15, 2014

MK Yoni Chetboun announced Sunday evening that he would not run with the Bayit Yehudi party in the upcoming elections.

“During the past two years, I realized the important of a political framework that preserves its Jewish identity and the values of the

Torah in the state. A framework that does not turn away from the disadvantaged and sees the treatment of the residents of the periphery as a supreme value. A party that knows to combine these values, and sees it as a guideline and connects between the religious, Haredi and traditional, will be a political home that would be best for me.” Chetboun placed 11th on the list for the 19th Knesset and served as Deputy Speaker of the Knesset.
